MUSLIM MEN STRIP 70-YEAR OLD CHRISTIAN WOMAN – PARADE HER IN STREET

A 70-year-old Christian woman was stripped naked, beaten and paraded through the streets by a mob of around 300 Muslim men in a village in southern Egypt.

The mob also burned down seven homes belonging to Christian families, according to an unusually outspoken statement issued by the local Orthodox Coptic church, after rumors circulated in the village that a Christian man was having a relationship with a Muslim woman.

The violence started at around 8 p.m. on May 20, and the local diocese said it was two hours before police responded, by which point the mob had already dispersed.
